Lithium Market Is Expected To Reach USD 12.7 Billion By 2028
San Francisco, 30 Aug 2023: The Report Lithium Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Carbonate, Hydroxide), By Application (Automotive, Consumer Goods, Grid Storage, Glass & Ceramics), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030
The global lithium market size is expected to reach USD 18.99 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2023 to 2030. Rising investments in lithium mining and related technologies are projected to remain a key trend in the market. Lithium mining is witnessing rapid growth as its demand is accelerating owing to its application in batteries. The element is found in dry places that require thousands of liters of water for its mining. Considering the rising demand for elements and increasing usage of water required for its extraction, R&D is in place to find better alternative methods. For instance, in February 2020, funding of around USD 20 million by Bill Gates was provided to Lilac Solutions, a lithium mining technology firm located in the U.S.
According to the firm, its ion exchange technology is two times more efficient compared to the current mining process and requires a fraction of time. Lithium recycling is a complex process; however, with the rising penetration of Li-ion batteries, the demand may outpace supply. Therefore, researchers are focusing on extraction and recycling through various new technologies. Lithium compounds are extracted from batteries as per individual methods and stages. The stages are divided into pre-treatment and extraction stages; while extraction is again categorized into hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and electrochemical extraction. Despite the growing emphasis and development of different recycling technologies, less than 1% of lithium is recycled currently.
Over the last decade, the rise in usage of Li-ion battery storage has led to a decline in their prices by over 80%, leading to enhanced energy storage and paving the way for Electric Vehicles (EVs) to be commercially viable. Government regulations and subsidies are working on expanding clean energy; thus, energy storage systems represent a huge opportunity for investors. However, expensive raw materials required to produce energy storage systems may remain a critical factor for investors. As per the International Energy Agency, new companies in clean energy have attracted significant investments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Early-stage Venture Capital (VC) investments reduced slightly in the first half of 2020. However, these investments recovered quickly, with record investments from the third quarter of 2020.
